two things. watch this video… then listen to the remix. both are great. she’s 18 and making deck music. i think that (like sarah mclachlan back in the day) there’ll continue to be killer dj, dance your heart out, remixes made from the raw track - that’ll make your life 3% better than it was before you heard them.

Coeur De Pirate - Comme Des Enfants (Le Matos Andy Carmichael Remix)

wait, there’s a third thing. slam 2 glasses of wine (in french spirit), then listen to the remix again.

just got a new mini hd flip cam - so, future vids will look way better than this one i shot a year ago w/ a point and shoot and put on youtube before they supported hd. so, in honor of new beginnings, watch this old one and enjoy the eclectic wtf diversity of the venice boardwalk. this is 2 miles down the street from my place. perfect cure for those days when you start to think “there’s nothing good to do”

hit up the flickr gallery below. jonathan owen is sicky gnar gnar. the work makes you wanna slap urself across the face then be magically sucked up into a street corner… or a tree w/ 4 other randoms w/out actually being harmed.

“With this application, I pay pitchfork.com to buy the music they say I should listen to, and it all goes directly onto my iphone. It’s great. I can’t tell you how much more time I now have to tye-dye my bootlaces.”

look at these f’n hipsters. they’re so different, yet they’re all alike. i still dig it though, and i’ll continue to try to kindof dress like them. - ::new favorite site::

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 17:16:00 -0400

the summer before middle school my mom asked if i would be joining band and learning to play an instrument. i thought about it. said yes. and decided a trumpet would be best for me. so we got in the car and started driving to the music store and i said “this is gonna be way easier than any other instrument cause you only have to learn 3 buttons.” then she was like “well brandon, it’s more complicated than that. you have to control how far down you push those and in what combinations you use them at the same time.” so i was bummed. told her to please stop the car. we turned around. went home. and i never learned to play an instrument.

long story short - dumbest choice ever. wish i cld make music. i think i’d make some good stuff. maybe. like this guy exile for example. i’m obsessed w/ this sound. and i think i’ve watched the video 20 times. it’s simply fucking awesome. that violinnish sound will hit something deep in ur chest each time u hear it. i dunno. somethin about it’s just really good.

i love and respect banksy. and however unclever and cliche you may feel that statement to be, i don’t care. but, he deff inspired me and my friend a.g. to make some statements w/ stencils in our free time.

here’s a simple one i like… the ‘hand of god.’ which can be seen in venice and santa monica, brining life to a few select, dirty and mostly unseen places. if ur ever here, we’ll go look at’m.

mashup of 80’s instructional dance and yugoslavian techno. at first you’re gonna be like… that video’s ok. then 5 minutes will pass and u’ll wanna watch again cause the song was kinda cool. but this time you’ll actually laugh. and from this point on, you’ll think about this video every now and again when ur away from ur computer and wish you could watch it.

go find a sharpie.

did you know, if you draw a smily face on your thumb, you reduce your risk of coronary heat disease?

*this is not backed by studies or science, it’s just something i do on mondays and i feel like it makes the day better cause every time u look down ur like ‘wtf is that on my… oh yeah, ha… smiiiley man…’

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:04:00 -0400

watch this video and do like i do… make believe that if you wanted to, you could actually pull that off…

one of my best investments was my loaded dervish longboard. i’m not good on it, but i can cruise the manhattan/hermosa strand and bomb the mellow hills around mar vista and santa monica. i’ve fallen a lot, ruined a ton of clothes and broken a rib… but i kinda liked it. hard to explain… but when you crash and don’t get incredibly banged up… you feel more alive than you would when ur not falling.

killer board company tho. well marketed. they made their decks recognizable… bamboo, paired w/ orange or purple orangatang wheels. great for branding. kinda like apple did w/ white earbuds… you see it, and you know. - lastly, the videos they put out are sick. always well filmed. artistic. good music.

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:19:00 -0400

check this out. once upon a time, my friend trevor’s phone accidentally called me and left a 4 minute message as he was discussing war + politics w/ his friend wyatt. they had no clue the call was made. so i took the message into garage band to edit it. i put some faint voices and some dialtone noises in the background anytime they would mention “president” “iraq” “obama” “national security” etc. then i created a bunch of fake ‘government data tracking’ email accounts and attached the message as an mp3 and sent to “the government” for review and filing. i bcc’d trevor and wyatt.

they freaked out and thought the government used a satellite to somehow tap into their conversation and record it… and they deff thought the government was now following them. so, i waited a few days to let the paranoia set in. then used the fake email addresses to ‘reveal’ that they were actually ‘being filmed and tracked by an upcoming Google/Discovery joint web series called GOVernment’ which ‘uses actual US technology put in place by the Bush administration to track everyday US citizens’

Trevor then called the police and also reached out to his attorney friend to see if this was legal. the attorney was confused - but he also assured him, yes the gov does track people in this way… but to make a show about it… well… that must break some laws.

so, i waited a few more days, then sent trev another email from the ‘government tracking system’ to announce the season premier of the new show. the email contained some very convincing words, along w/ this video (which i created using his photos from facebook, online messages, and video I captured using google earth which zooms in on his apartment and the path he takes to work). enjoy.

santa monica’s notorious for these crosswalks that actually speak as they count down the time for you to cross the street.

in lincoln, a g freezes his ears off walking outside for more than 15 seconds. now i’m in santa monica and it’s almost confusing… december 10th (here for an interview) and 63 degrees outside. i’d heard stories about places that weren’t covered in ice through december, but i thought those were just rumors.

sorry for the low res. phone pic.

Fri, 07 Dec 2007 16:02:00 -0500

yeah, you can give someone a mix cd… but there’s something beautiful about an actual mix tape… maybe it was that more time was required through dubbing and writing out the song list on the paper insert… maybe it was the visual contrast in dark and clear plastic with a few mechanical pieces screwed into the middle. or maybe it was the beauty tied to the music/clothes of the 80s… either way, i dig this take on musical gifting. usb, stuffed in a tape.

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 17:49:00 -0500

just finished a project at work. haven’t had a design gig in a long time, so this was refreshing. in this scene, i created a packed city with buildings based on actual structures w/in major us cities and tokyo. to give a surreal feel, the buildings consist of small sections of the real thing, but copied and pasted over and over until it was in the shape and form of the actual full building… hard to explain. anyway, the field is made from 12 farm and park images all remixed and cut together. i’d live there.
